On the cover we have David Swendseid showing what he is talking about in his article on “Spybaiting”. Here in the Southern hemisphere it is midsummer and “Post Spawn Junk Fishing” is a scenario ventured by many and perfected by few. Grant Hewitt’s article will enlighten our readers on how to still fish catch those big ones after the spawn. In the middle of summer, many anglers may think that the best bite is during the mornings or in the afternoons. This may be true, as usually the bass move shallow in the mornings and afternoons to feed, and is therefore a lot easier to catch. Reed Eastman is one of our top local bass anglers and in his article “Where Do Those Kickers Go Hide” reveals hiding places for big bass. Or join Stephen Williams on his fishing trip where he and his mates had caught more than twenty fish, smallest being 1kg and the biggest was 3kg.
If you think our local waters are pressured then read Bertrand’s article and think again. When he was back in England, he had to face up with the inconvenient realities of bass fishing in France, which is the closest country to where he currently resides, where bass are found.

Two of a bass’ most important senses are that of sound and vibration. Let’s consider these ‘noises’ and analyse how a bass interprets them and then implement noise to your advantage. Or read our article on how to “Improve Your Texas Rig”. It is also amazing to see how many anglers there are that do not know how to “Set Up a Baitcaster Reel”.

With the start of the tournament season our more competitive readers and tournament organisers will find Mark Bilbrey’s article on “Keeping Bass Alive In a Live-well” very informative. The most common causes of fish mortality are physical injury, oxygen deprivation, and high level of ammonia or carbon dioxide and high water temperatures.

SA BASS Magazine Description:

Publisher: BB-Publications-(Pty)-Ltd

Category: Fishing_Hunting

Language: Afrikaans

Frequency: Monthly

SA BASS, which is editorially and financially independent, is a monthly magazine catering exclusively for the bass angling community in Southern Africa. It is designed as a specialist bass fishing publication and has catered for a well-defined niche market since April 2001. It enjoys the support and endorsement of non-government organisations, but is not affiliated in any way to these bodies or to any other publishing, environmental or political interest group.

SA Bass is a specialist publication, providing authoritative editorial exclusively on bass angling and related subjects such as boats, conservation and outdoor recreation vehicles. Articles are compiled by its own staff backed by a team of experienced bass anglers appointed as SA Bass Field Representatives throughout the country and overseas. Our mission is to promote bass angling as a socially acceptable and popular outdoor recreational activity, and in addition, to encourage acceptable angling ethics. As such, SA BASS provides pertinent information on a wide range of subjects. These include providing a platform for informed debate on issues affecting the sport of bass angling, providing information on bass angling strategies and techniques, bass angling waters and opportunities, and also creating awareness of new products.

Within this editorial mix, due consideration is given to developing the sport among all the country's people (including the youth), and to the practical conservation of the country's natural resources. SA Bass is a key role player on behalf of bass anglers and the bass industry in negotiations with the Department of Environment Affairs and Tourism regarding regulations of the Biodiversity Act that regulate the presence of Bass in the country.

SA Bass is the official organiser and presenter of a monthly bass angling tournament, known as the “Cast-for-Cash” Tournament Trail that provides an opportunity for recreational as well as experienced, top-level bass anglers to compete for prize money and trophies.

To maintain and enhance the value of the publication, SA Bass presents its readers with regular reader competitions with prizes provided by many sponsors and advertisers.

SA BASS is distributed country-wide to outlets, not only in South Africa, but also in Namibia, Swaziland and Botswana.
